COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams are starting together for the first time in almost three years for the United States’ World Cup qualifier against El Salvador. The temperature at kickoff was 29 degrees, tying a record low for a U.S. home game. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter changed five starters from the previous qualifier, a 1-1 draw at Jamaica in November. Jesús Ferreira was picked over Ricardo Pepi at forward for Thursday night’s game in frigid Columbus, Ohio. Matt Turner started at goalkeeper in place of Zack Steffen, who remained in England this week with a bad back.
